£18m seems pretty fair to me, why throw money away when the player wants to come to us? There's a few clubs greedily eyeing up Moshiri's wallet, United are just playing the game same as us.

{Ed025's Note - united are considering offers from abroad as well stevo, a couple of the bigger sides want him on loan with a view to buy so its up to us now mate if we pay the fee..

Ed do you nthink we should just pay the asking fee, then if he wants to come he will and if not, on to the next target. to much messing around when he could be in the squad ready to go after the fa cup game.

{Ed002's Note - I am not so sure it is that simple Dazza. A representative from Marseille was at West Ham as a guest of Manchester United yesterday - and they have been discussing Schneiderlin and the meeting was arranged prior to Everton speaking to Manchester United about the player. Everton made the approach on Saturday apparently and they made a bid (possibly on Sunday) that was slightly more than the bid of West Brom. Right now neither are of interest to Manchester United. Marseille want to take MS on loan with an option to buy at the end of the season rather than bundle up the cash and pay up front. At this time the details have not been proposed in writing but Marseille have an idea of what it might take to make something happen so it should not be discounted. Additionally there has been a tentative enquiry with his agent from Juventus - but I suspect we can put that to one side for now. A discussion about a loan to Inter Milan has also been held between the clubs - angain not to be discounted. For now I would expect Everton and West Brom to be thinking about a higher bid. Marseille will decide if they wish to put a package together this week. All of this could prompt Inter in to doing something. So we will have to wait and see.}

We needs to pay the price and then it's up to Morgan to knock back other teams. If the media can be believed he wants to come to everton and is settled in the northwest. We do our part and meet the price and he does his and we should be right.

{Ed025's Note - im not really sure fanatic, marseille, juve, and milan are preparing a deal for him which involves a loan to buy package, united want the £25m they paid for him and as of now we have offered £19m, it could go any way at this stage mate..

Then we need to pay the asking price and see eds. the balls in Uniteds court then.

It depends on whether the powers that be at EFC believe Schneiderlin's worth the "alleged" £25m Utd want for him, and also where the lad wants to go. A game of bluff and counter bluff at the moment.
